Each review score is between 1-10. To get the overall score that you see, we add up all the review scores we’ve received and divide that total by the number of review scores we’ve received. We are currently testing a weighted review system in Malta, Iceland, Australia, Greece, Brazil and North Carolina. For properties in these regions, the more recent the review, the bigger the impact on the total review score calculation. In addition, guests can give separate ‘subscores’ in crucial areas, such as location, cleanliness, staff, comfort, facilities, value for money and free Wi-Fi. Note that guests submit their subscores and their overall scores independently, so there’s no direct link between them.
You can review an Accommodation that you booked through our Platform if you stayed there or if you arrived at the property but didn’t actually stay there. To edit a review you’ve already submitted, please contact our Customer Service team.
We have people and automated systems that specialise in detecting fake reviews submitted to our Platform. If we find any, we delete them and, if necessary, take action against whoever is responsible.
Anyone else who spots something suspicious can always report it to our Customer Service team, so our Fraud team can investigate.
Ideally, we would publish every review we receive, whether positive or negative. However, we won’t display any review that includes or refers to (among other things):
To make sure reviews are relevant, we may only accept reviews that are submitted within 3 months of checking out, and we may stop showing reviews once they’re 36 months old – or if the Accommodation has a change of ownership.
An Accommodation may choose to reply to a review.
When you see multiple reviews, the most recent ones will be at the top, subject to a few other factors (what language a review is in, whether it’s just a rating or contains comments as well, etc.). If you like, you can sort and/or filter them (by time of year, review score, etc.).
We sometimes show external review scores from other well-known travel websites. We make it clear when we’ve done this.
These guidelines and standards aim to keep the content on Booking.com relevant and family-friendly without limiting expression of strong opinions. They are also applicable regardless of the sentiment of the comment.
Contributions should be travel related. The most helpful contributions are detailed and help others make better decisions. Please don’t include personal, political, ethical, or religious commentary. Promotional content will be removed and issues concerning Booking.com’s services should be routed to our Customer Service or Accommodation Service teams.
Contributions should be appropriate for a global audience. Please avoid using profanity or attempts to approximate profanity with creative spelling, in any language. Comments and media that include 'hate speech', discriminatory remarks, threats, sexually explicit remarks, violence, and the promotion of illegal activity are not permitted.
All content should be genuine and unique to the guest. Reviews are most valuable when they are original and unbiased. Your contribution should be yours. Booking.com property partners should not post on behalf of guests or offer incentives in exchange for reviews. Attempts to bring down the rating of a competitor by submitting a negative review will not be tolerated.
Respect the privacy of others. Booking.com will make an effort to obscure email addresses, telephone numbers, website addresses, social media accounts, and similar details.
The opinions expressed in contributions are those of Booking.com customers and properties and not of Booking.com. Booking.com does not accept responsibility or liability for any reviews or responses. Booking.com is a distributor (without any obligation to verify) and not a publisher of these comments and responses.
By default, reviews are sorted based on the date of the review and on additional criteria to display the most relevant reviews, including but not limited to: your language, reviews with text, and non-anonymous reviews. Additional sorting options may be available (by type of traveller, by score, etc.).

United KingdomNothing that we could suggest.
A lovey few days in a great cottage. Met by friendly host who was able to answer any questions. The cottage was lovely - clean and comfy with everything for a great stay - really homely feel .The garden was lovely to sit out in and well kept. In a good location with a short walk to village and the local pub .Walks in the surrounding area and close to Bath, Midsomer Norton and other interesting places. Would have liked to stay a bit longer!

United KingdomVery spacious accomodation with beautiful views and animal neighbours. Outdoor BBQ used, was good. Look forward to using indoor BBQ hut if we manage to get there again! (I hope we do!) The three cottages in a row suited our group very well providing privacy when wanted and plenty of space to get together for eating / social time.

United KingdomIt would have been nice to have had tourist information leaflets to show places of interest in the area. A visitors book would also have been helpful to leave our own feedback and view other visitors comments. Valley cottage is not suitable for elderly people or people with mobility issues as there are 3 steep steps of differing heights from the bedrooms into the living area and bathroom. Glass front door needs a curtain as the smaller bedroom door is directly opposite the front door and so one can be seen through it going to the bathroom and back- and bit of a dash required to get in and out of the bedroom so as not to frighten the other residents who may see you through the door - all that said the cottage was extremely quiet, warm and comfortable. A bit surprised that guests have to strip the beds prior to leaving - this apparently was due to Covid measures, but despite staying in numerous other properties after the pandemic, this was the first time we had been told to do this- a bit of a cheek!
Great location to travel around the area. Beautiful views from the cottage. Lovely to look out of the window and see goats and chickens. Very warm and comfortable. Very well equipped (apart from there were no trays to carry food and utensils to the dining area) Spotlessly clean. Excellent parking right outside the cottage door. Very near great places to eat- really good Fish and Chip Shop close by. Fuel station about 3 miles from the cottage. Comprehensive visitor information folder in the cottage.
